This is a small Catholic Cemetery in the rural Cox Creek area of Clayton County, Iowa - Land donated by my Great Great Grandfather, Michael Carr, who was the first to be buried there. My Henry Great Grandparents are there an well as my O'Brien Grandparents, as is my Ivory Great Great Father. In my youth I was a caretaker of this cemetery. Ever time I smell arborvitae I think of this cemetery.
